2022.January.Album
I started New Year's Day, as it happens, with a couple full-album listens. (Ended last year and started this year off right by watching Get Back and listening to a buncha Beatles.) So, as is standard for me, I started keeping a list. Here are the full albums, I listened to in January. I've also listened to a bunch of individual songs – and the beginning of some albums that just were not at all for me.
Mid-month, I started going to a gym, which seems like an especially good time to search for new music, and revisit some music I know. So a healthy percentage of the music here was listened to that way.
Standard disclaimer: mere inclusion here does not equal an endorsement. Many of these are just albums I found or saw/heard mentioned, and then listened to. There's a heavy reliance on Pitchfork's Music playlist of the 30 best albums from last year. (Either the playlist is disappointing, or last year was; I'm unsure which is truer.)
